Rotary Club of Evanston
October 22, 2026
Meeting this week is back at One Rotary Center, rooms 3AB.
- Based on member feedback, we're adjusting the cadence of club meetings in November and December
- We'll meet the 1st and 2nd Thursday in both November and December
- November's Club Assembly has been slid to 12 November
- Focus will be further discussion of Club's "signature focus"
- Allows for 5 November's program to feature details from City of Evanston's "Process for Local Assessment of Needs" (EPLAN) - particularly food security issues
(Special Note: We will publish the Zoom link in every Rotopep, even when there will not be a meeting. That should make it easier to find when members are looking for our Zoom link. Please try to remember that a Zoom Link will not automatically mean that there is a meeting that week).
